Media Center Remotes - mail order only?

Trying to equip a new Media Center with a remote (and IR blaster, because I
have DireCTV), and I find that there appear to be no local stores that stock
them - Staples, Fry's, Best Buy, Office Depot, Office Max, all come up empty
when I search for Media Center Remote or Microsoft Remote Control.

Are there any national chain stores that might stock these, or am I doomed
to wait for mail-order to reach me?

Thanks,

Alun.

Try newegg.com they have national distribution locations. My last order
from them arrived the next day using the lowest shipping cost option.
